I've got some exciting news, SELF: I'm starting a new job soon! I've been applying off and on for a few months, and finally got the call (while grocery shopping no less!) that I had landed what sounds like a dream gig.

Of course, with the desire to celebrate in mind, I immediately turned to the sweets section at Target…and then walked my booty over to the workout clothes and grabbed a new top instead! See, I’ve always been the “Oh, let’s go to dinner and celebrate!” type. For example, when my boyfriend got his new job last week, we went straight to the frozen yogurt shop. (Better than ice cream, right?) This time, though, I skipped the drinks and desserts (aside from a few Girl Scout cookies, sshhhh) and headed to the gym in my sassy new top. And you know what? I FELT GREAT.

Plus, my man and I had a little bet going — if we both had new jobs by a certain date (we were both looking), we would take a trip to Vegas. And since we’ve also BOTH been on a fast track to toning up, I couldn’t be happier to show off my newly toned body (and stare at his!) in Sin City soon.

I’ll be working for a beer brand, so keeping my choices in check will be hard, but with my new kickboxing membership and sweet little mint bikini in the closet, I should be able to do just fine. Plus, can you imagine how great the Pork tenderloin with roasted fennel and apples will taste with a cold, free Honeycrisp AppleWheat?
